Free Slouchy Knit Hat Pattern

Thanks to some helpful comments on Ravelry I've updated my free Slouchy Hat Pattern. I hadn't looked at the pattern in years, and when I recently did the crown shaping instructions made absolutely no sense. Hopefully these improvements work....

I've updated it on Ravelry (download here if you're a Ravelry member) or you can print this page:
